what are all these herbal remedies everyone is taking?
I see in a lot of people's signatures that they take a lot of herbal remedies like cinnamon, saw palmetto, flax seed oil, fish oil, etc. Can someone explain to me what herbal remedies you can take for PCOS and what they do? I'd like to go ALL NATURAL, but I don't know where to start...

LADIES: Does it ever feel to you like if you took ALL of the pills that you have to take in ONE day AT ONE TIME, you would be SO FULL, that you could skip a whole meal and not feel hungry?
I would love to do all natural too but I find with my insurance it's cheaper to do reg. meds funnily enough. I'm just learning about the natural way also, there are many many posts and stickies in the "Alternative" section on this site I would reccomend checking it out! It's helped me a lot. I'm sorry I can't answer anything specifically but there's a point in the right direction. Good Luck

My advice would be to start with vitex/agnus castus. I've tried a few alternative remedies and that had the most dramatic results for me.
Others I'd recommend looking into are;
zinc, ground flaxseeds (helped my acne), green tea or spearmint tea... good luck!

I started zinc at the same time as eating ground flaxseeds, and within 6 weeks (or less) my acne was so, so much better. Problem is, I don't know whether it was the zinc, the flaxseeds, or both. I've tried zinc before for my skin and it didn't help, although it was just a cheapy one and the one I'm using now seems to be better quality.
I think the combination of the two has helped me

I'm going to try that. I don't have bad acne but I get the usual breakouts every now and then and then there are some blemishes that I want to rid myself of.

Fish oil didn't seem to help me, but the Cinnamon has worked very well along with Metformin XR. I had hoped to not take meds, but for me I needed Met to fight the IR even after weightloss and an IR friendly diet. The Cinammon helped remove part of my AN when diet, weightloss and Met. didn't take it all away. It's also helped jumpstart weightloss again.
